match.com Features:

At match.com you are sent 12 Daily Matches per day. Acting on these, even to say no thanks means the website can learn what you like and get closer to suggesting the right match for you. Try reverse matching for some great innovative matchmaking too, based on what other people are looking for. Once you’ve found someone you like, reach out with inbox messaging or live chat, and get notifications when your messages have been read. There are also winks, likes and favourites.

You can even try out Stir events, which are offline singles events to meet people, or which act as a great step between online chat and offline dating if you’re feeling nervous about meeting someone new. Don’t forget to try out the popular match.com app for dating on the go.

Another great feature that most people may not be aware of is the match.com guarantee. match.com hosts millions of single profiles and thousands of new profiles are added each day. They are so sure that you will meet someone with in six months they guarantee it. If you do not meet someone in that six-month period, you will be credited six months to your account and receive free time on match.com. How can you beat a guarantee like that?

match.com Sign Up:

match.com's sign up is quick and simple. Your email address, date of birth, and password will be required before you can view the profiles. Once this information is complete, you will be taken to a page to fill out some profile info about you and your match. You can skip anything you don’t want to answer, but we recommend you take the five or ten minutes necessary to fill this section in properly as this is where other members of the site will look to see if you’re worth a conversation or a try.

You can enter information about your personality, lifestyle, physical appearance, religion, politics and more. Tell users what books you have recently read, what pets you have, and anything else which takes your fancy. You can also enter info about the person you’re looking for. One great extra is the deal breaker option, which allows you to enter items you are absolutely sure you do not want to be matched with, for example, smoking or drinking. The only section of the profile you cannot skip is 200 characters about yourself. Match suggest you don’t overthink this, and we agree! You can also include up to 26 photos.

Until you have filled in this section, you will not receive many matches or profile views. In addition, profiles that are not updated or used too often will be deleted from the match.com system.

match.com Safety:

match.com offers great advice for Canadian singles looking to have fun online in a safe way. That’s why the website contains safe online dating tips, dating advice, and the truth behind online dating. New and existing members should make it a point to visit these pages and learn more about online dating safety.

match.com Prices:

match.com.au offers a competitive pricing structure. They have both basic and bundle plans, but the most competitive by far is the bundle plans, which include a highlighted profile and email read notifications. If you want to simply try out the full functionality of the site, sign up for 3 months, which will cost you $23.99/month. This is the most expensive way to subscribe. 12 months of membership is the cheapest monthly cost, and is $17.99/month. However, we absolutely love the 6 month membership, which as well as being competitively priced at only $19.99 per month, it also comes with the match.com guarantee. If you haven’t met someone during those 6 months, you get another 6 months free of charge. Amazing!

match.com Ease of Use:

The Match.com layout is simple and pleasing to the eyes. They have adopted a lighter background contrasted with dark blue buttons. Font sizes are pleasingly large, which makes it easy to read any of your link options. Menu bars are conveniently located to the left and top of your dashboard.

A silver grey bar sits atop your dashboard, below your top menu and displays the latest events by match.com. Click the link to receive event details and find how where these in-person events will be held. All other functionality including settings and help can be found from the home page too. If you have any problems or concerns, try the FAQs, send an email, or live chat during working hours.

match.com The Search:

You can access the search in two places on your dashboard. At the top menu bar is a pull down menu with additional search options. To the right of your dashboard is the simple search ready for you to use. Search by people who are online now, and find profiles that have photos.

Click the “Custom Search” tab that is located next to the search tab in your dashboard to perform a customized search. Here, you will have the opportunity to refine the search with additional criteria.

You may notice small green dots on some profiles. This means that this person is available for online chat. You can choose to save them to chat with later, or you can use “Quick View” to see what their profile is like.

match.com Bottom Line:

match.com is one of the worlds most popular choices in online dating, and they boast the most success stories. Canadian singles will find great matchmaking and search tools along with fun extras like a great mobile app and offline events.
